This is a speciality of your style, and very good it is too. Exceptional close-up, detail and control of tones & dof. The mono is excellent.

I think I have spent longer looking at this image than any I have looked at this month - why? Quite simply because it is brilliant - it works superbly as a mono, the crop is heroic and works equally superbly, details are presented beautifuly, entertaining pov and masterly dof - I am running out of superlatives so I had better stop there.

Two things - was this shot in colour and converted? And a nagging doubt about a border I guess you tried it and it didn't work - because the image is strong through its simplicity I guess?

Lovely
